Just for a laugh… no getting all serious on me, my headache couldn’t handle it ha ha But get a load of this load… who else is making their Homey Pro work for a living? And don’t be giving me a hard time if you’re not prepared to share your own graphs 😝🤭 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/8/68218f48ba17d8e9743909814343600143b9dc20.png) Averaging 40-50%, with peaks of 150+% (I did see it hit 197% once for a minute 🤣)\_ I think a kind of process list showing a list of apps and their CPU load, with an entry for Homey divided in to system, flows, backup etc would be a nice to have. You have Memory and Storage, but not CPU load. And trying to create an Insights graph for all apps and the system is messy at best. ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Mine does not use zigbee/thread (outsourced to H.A.) I may end up resorting to such measures eventually… I have kinda been dreading going down the HA route (why I have Homey TBH) so my HP26 has everything thrown at it, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, WiFi (Matter & straight WiFi devices) and even IR… just over 500 devices in total (inc 74 virtual) As well as 74 apps, a growing number of scripts, 242 Flows, and a couple hundred variables. So I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it’s getting a good workout 🤣 ---

This is mine. The spike yesterday was when Homey updated to firmware v13.5.3. ![IMG_3097](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/2/52f8992dd82b9ef002a69421d49cfdd9274b7948.jpeg) I have: - 143 devices (half are Zigbee) - 48 apps - 346 flows (mostly Advanced Flows) - 332 Logic variables and 23 BLL variables ---

Ah, let me show a bit more about what I’m doing to Homey 2026 v13.5.3 - Memory: 4.03 GB (903.38 MB free) - 80 apps total — 53 Stable, 26 Test, 1 Development, 80 SDKv3, 0 updates available, 31 disabled, 0 crashed. - Total devices 285 - - Virtual devices 44 - - Other devices 240 - Logic variables: 201 - Better Logic variables: 21 - Advanced flows: 124 total, 0 broken, 37 disabled - Basic flows: 424 total, 0 broken, 85 disabled - HomeyScript scripts: 244 (83 tokens/tags) - Zones: 55 As you probably have noticed, there’s 31 _disabled_ apps here. I have flows enable and disable certain apps which only need to run for a while to do a job. Like Archive Insights, Flow Checker, Flow Converter, and such.

I also use the Homey Overview Script, it’s a brilliant thing! And I use it in conjunction with the Email Sender app to send me an email overview at midday, which as well as being quite interesting, is most informative if I have any problems to look back on the last few days overviews. It’s only a bit of fun, seeing how mean I’m being to my HP26 🤣 but it is interesting to see how everyone utilises their Homey. Thank you for sharing, you good sports 👍🏼 ---

I finally plucked up the courage and took the plunge… that new CM4 had been sat there pulling faces at me for weeks. It was touch and go there for a while… performing major brain surgery on my Homey Pro (2026)… but, IT’S ALIVE!!! 🤣 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/8/88a0909da0a0261a2d976d6f3ac61623f4d0ebb1.png) Runs a darn sight better now it has free memory 😃 (I haven’t installed any new apps yet… that’s just what it was running before, just using swap a lot ha ha 🤣) The next job (another day now) is to back up the new hardware, and then expand the user partition, now I have 16GB to play with 😃 ---

> [@AdyBOSS](#): > > No problem to expand the partition Expecting that to be a lot easier… already have gparted on the Pi5 I’ll connect it to for the job anyway… it’s just the making my smart home dumb for an hour or so while I wait for the USB tool to do the backup first, and then wait for the partition to be expanded, before I can plug my Homey Pro back in to my network… that and I was visiting family over the weekend 😁 Thanks for sharing 👍🏼 EDIT: I have noticed since doing the upgrade, that the increased RAM has also had a positive impact on the CPU usage and temperature… perhaps because it’s not spending all its time smashing the swap, it can concentrate more on automating my home for me 😁 (average load now 30% rather than 50%, peaks now around 80% instead of 130%… temps now in low 50’s rather than high 50’s °C) ---

Is there a guide on how to expand the partition? I did the upgrade a few years back but never bothered expanding the partition but im running out of storage now and ideally needs doing. Can it be done on a mac? Thanks ---

There is a basic guide in another forum post… which seems to suggest exactly what I was going to try. But I haven’t done it just yet (too busy creating new flows, scripts and exploring new apps now I have memory to play with ha ha ha). But I might have a go at it tomorrow… I’ll post here if I do… and include any additional points once I’m successful. > [@\[HowTo\]\[Modding\] Homey Pro (Early 2023) - Resize user Partition on eMMC](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-modding-homey-pro-early-2023-resize-user-partition-on-emmc/81591/41): > > Pff, after a lot off issues here, I’ve found a way that was working for me and way easier! Take a simple (old?) raspberry pi or install it by a virtual machine.
